Marco Rubio: After short-circuit, reprogramming required

Falling to fifth place after a disastrous, robotic debate performance, Rubio owned the screwup in his New Hampshire speech — “It’s on me. I did not do well on Saturday night — listen to this: That will never happen again.” Leaving aside Twitter jokes about Viagra, it’s unclear whether he can burn the talking points and provide the off-the-cuff authenticity voters have rewarded this election cycle.

Chris Christie: Traffic problems force exit

The New Jersey governor was squeezed out of the tell-it-like-it-is, smackdown lane early in the presidential race (see: Trump, Donald) and never really gained much traction. He did manage a royal smackdown of Rubio on the way out but didn’t help himself in the process.

Jeb Bush: He still has a pulse!

The former Florida governor did what he needed to do to stay alive in the race, placing fourth — and ahead of Rubio and Christie, with 97% reporting. Bush proudly proclaimed during his primary night event, “This campaign is not dead.”

Donald Trump: The reality show is real

Welcome to Celebrity White House Race, where the reality show star turned out real voters in massive numbers to dominate the New Hampshire primary, crushing his competition.

John Kasich: Movin’ on up

The Ohio governor’s countless town halls and old-school retail campaigning delivered a solid, second place finish in New Hampshire. The question is whether he can continue the #Kasichmentum in Nevada and South Carolina.

Ted Cruz: Appealing to more than evangelicals

The Texas senator placed third in New Hampshire, showing his appeal extends beyond his evangelical base. In Iowa, where he won, evangelicals made up nearly 60% of the electorate. In New Hampshire, they only accounted for roughly 20%.

Ben Carson: The clean clothes didn’t work

The retired neurosurgeon knew he wasn’t going to do well in New Hampshire. He left the state and headed to South Carolina before the votes were even tallied. (He didn’t go home for a fresh set of clothes this time, though.) But he has a lot of work to do — some say too much — after his precipitous decline in polls. His eighth-place finish in New Hampshire won’t help him.

Hillary Clinton: Pantsuiting up for long battle

With a razor-thin victory margin in Iowa and now a drubbing in New Hampshire, the former secretary of State is facing a prolonged battle for the Democratic nomination — and a full 10 days before the next contest in Nevada, which can be an eternity in politics.
